Newbie Tarp ???????????

I need info please. I'm looking for a trap that will NOT break the bank. I must cover a skeet beeter pro, wb blackbird. If I could find the right trees, would be nice to cover both at the same time. Don't want the kids getting wet. I don't want a wally word plastic trap.

I used the winter tarp pattern to make a prototype tarp to see if I could do it before buying the material for it and too make sure it was going to be the size I needed. I bought two of the 2 mil plastic painters drop cloths from Lowes for $3 per drop cloth and used a few strips of gorrila tape for the ridge to seam them together. and used gorilla tape to beef up the tie out points and make the pullouts with. I planned to use it 1 night just to make sure its what I wanted and I have since used it about 15 nights. It has held up great. I just use it for car camping because of the weight about 3 pounds but it would be a cheap alternative if you would like to try a DIY project. It is a huge tarp and I have used it in snow, rain, wind and it has held up very well believe it or not
